or support you throw are way goes directly to Beatnik Turtle so we can continue
to write, record, and distribute music. Thanks in advance for any purchases
you make!

You can buy Beatnik Turtle's albums at the good people at CDBaby
and most major digital music stores, including "the iTunes", Rhapsody,
Napster, and more...

"There have been a bunch of concept albums about dystopian
scenarios (Styx’s Kilroy Was Here, Nine Inch Nails’ Year
Zero) and inner explorations of hopelessness (Pink Floyd’s The
Wall), but Beatnik Turtle’s All in a Day’s Work, which
attempts both, is the most effective. The Barenaked Ladies-esque ensemble
has crafted a concept album about white-collar workers and office
work. Paeans to wireless mouses and blog reading are paired with laments
about waking up early, conformity and other symptoms of days spent
out of the sun. It’s the mellow-harsher of the year".

You've heard Beatnik Turtle in the studio, now hear what they sound
like live! Recorded at legendary (and now no longer) Gunther Murphy's
in Chicago, this 17-track album includes live renditions of songs from
Beatnik Turtle's previous albums as well as songs not found on any Beatnik
Turtle album to date. Two covers are also included: rockin' versions
of They Might Be Giants' "Older" and The Saw Doctor's "Hay
Wrap."

"The music is upbeat (even when the lyrics aren't!), and the
entire album is simply fun to listen to." -Erik Arneson, boardgames.about

Songs about or inspired by Cheapass
Games like, Were All These Beer Cans Here Last Night?,
Freeloader and Cube Farm (see
the video!) which teaches the importance of "thinking outside the
box inside your cube."
